Warfare and Society in the Carolingian Ostmark
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2009
Extract
The relationship between military and social organization has long been a topic of major concern and debate among scholars specializing in the history of the European middle ages. It is a topic of importance, for, as we who live in the modern world are aware, the ways in which any government organizes its people for warfare have many implications that go well beyond the strategy of a particular campaign or the tactics employed at a decisive battle. The rudimentary nature of the economies and governments in medieval Europe probably made the relationship between military and social organization more direct and, hence, more obvious than it is today. Peasants may have been illiterate, but they were cognizant of their obligation to serve in local levies and to provide food, fodder, and transport facilities for armies on campaign. Magnates who kept a retinue with them at all times and who garrisoned private fortresses were dependent on surpluses produced by the peasantry for the maintenance of these forces.

1 The theory that mounted shock combat initiated major social changes in Carolingian times was first advanced by Heinrich Brunner in his article on “Der Reiterdienst und die Anfänge des Lehnwesens,” in Zeitschrifl der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichle, Germanische Abtheilung, Vol. VII (1887), pp. 1–38.Google Scholar Since then the literature on the subject has become immense.

9 The term “Ostmark” is one of convenience justified by the fact that a series of marcher lordships were created along the Danube, in the eastern Alps, and on the plains of Pannonia during the ninth century.

10 In his “Deutsche Kriegsführung im Osten während des Mittelalters,” Deutsches Archiv, Vol. II (1938), pp. 54–84,Google Scholar Karl Schiinemann points out that the course of the rivers from south to north in much of eastern Europe proved to be a handicap to German armies operating there. This, however, was not the case in the Ostmark, for contemporary sources demonstrate that the waterways were frequently used by Carolingian forces in this theater.

31 “The king was persuaded by self-styled experts that one could travel most conveniently from the Danube into the Rhine if a navigable canal was built between the Rivers Rednitz and Altmiihl, since one of these rivers flows into the Danube and another into the Main.” Scholz, and Rogers, , Carolingian Chronicles, p. 71.Google Scholar Although the canal was a failure, this passage clearly shows that Charles was very much aware of the convenience of fluvial navigation in moving men and material from one theater to another. Since the frontiers of his empire were under attack in 793, when construction was begun, logistical considerations must have been foremost in his mind.
